Child Outcomes
For children, the goal of early intervention and preschool special education is to enable them to be active and successful participants during the early childhood years and in the future in a variety of settings - in their home with their families, in child care, preschool or school programs, and in the community.
States collect and use data on three child outcomes to support this goal:
- Children have positive social-emotional skills (including social relationships).
- Children acquire and use knowledge and skills (including early language/communication [and early literact]).
- Children use appropriate behaviors to meet their needs.
Resources to support positive child outcomes can be found in this section.

This video is a recording of the Child Outcomes training that was provided virtually to personnel across Michigan on December 16, 2022. The training was recorded and is now available as a reference for those who attended the training and for those who would like to learn more about the history, practice, and effective integration of Child Outcomes data.
The Child Outcomes Summary - Team Collaboration (COS-TC) Quality Practice Checklist and Descriptions provides Early On and Preschool Special Education providers online access to the COS-TC quality practice checklist and descriptions, and allows you to practice your learning by watching video clips of COS team meetings with families and rating the extent to which providers in the video used the COS-TC quality practices.
